For those of you who have not met me, my name is Jessica Sanderson and I am the Confirmation Director at St. Peter Church. It is my great privilege to oversee the two-year preparation of this beautiful sacrament your children will be receiving. If at any time you have questions regarding our program, the diocesan requirements for sacramental preparation, or anything to do with Faith Formation, please don’t hesitate to email me at jessica.sanderson@petertherock.org.

For your convenience I have created a list of “What You Need to Know” about our program whether you are in your first year or second year of preparation. These are quick lists that cover some important dates and requirements for preparation. These lists are simple guides and give a broad view. Please refer to the schedules listed on the website for class times and locations.

Each week I will post a letter on our website updating events, news, and important reminders for our students, parents, and sponsors.

Thank you for entrusting the catechetical preparation of your children to the St. Peter staff. We look forward to entering this journey with your loved ones!God Bless,Jessica SandersonConfirmation Director

Dress CodeWhile the church greatly respects the uniqueness and individuality in each of its members, it holds that modesty is a fruit of the Holy Spirit and that “Teaching modesty to children and adolescents means awakening in them respect for the human person.” (Catechism ofthe Catholic Church 25234)

It is in this spirit of fostering respect for each other and for sanctity of the Sacrament of Confirmation that we set forth a code of dress consistent with the Church’s view of modesty for the solemn beauty of this occasion.

LadiesDress in good taste is requested and should be appropriate for important life occasions (church, banquets, and special occasions but not formal or semi-formal). Shoulders must be covered. No plunging or revealing necklines. No bare midriffs. Skirts and dresses should fall in length below the knee and not be tight or suggestive. Pant suits or full length pants with an appropriate top are acceptable. Please no shorts or capris. Shoes should be appropriate for outfit and church (no flip flops or tennis shoes).

GentlemenDress in good taste is requested and should be appropriate for important life occasions (church, banquets, and special occasions). Dress shirt with collar and tie (sports coat or suit jacket optional). Shirts should be tucked in and pants fitted at waist with belt. Shoes should be appropriate for outfit and church (no flip flops or tennis shoes).

Manner of dress shows self-respect, respect for one another and respect for the occasion.
